Now, I don’t normally type headers in all-caps. The woman I’m married to can’t stand it. But if ever a time came when an all-caps title was needed … that time was now (WTF tenses).
Seriously, Slaughterama Four. Saturday March 31 on Belle Isle.
Slaughterama is the sweetest darn bike festival on the eastern seaboard — held right here in our town. And by bike festival I mean drunken explosion of cranks and chains. Words don’t really do it justice you really need to check out the pictures.
More details to come but this far the events include:
- Six pak attak
- Four way whiplash (this is seriously awesome / someone might die)
- Chicken fight races
- Chariot races
- Best in show
- World’s smallest messenger race
If you miss it, you’ll feel like the biggest toolbox. Come to watch, bring a beer, get arrested for drunk in public!

VCU wins the CAA tourney advancing to what some may call the big dance. There will be dancing, and it will be big — there may be parachute pants. In the mean time check out this sweet picture of the students on the court:

First thought — it’s about sports
The Superbowl, sports-wise and ad-wise, was dull. This was a bit homophobic, this a bit racist, and this the funniest commercial of the night. Overall a pretty subpar batch of ads if you ask me.
Payton Manning managed not to choke (although I saw about fifteen whiny Payton Manning faces) and won his first championship at any level. Huzzah Payton. Now, we can finally move on and stop talking about you.
WotBN (still) lives!
Last Wednesday I launched West of the Boulevard News to much a little bit of ballyhoo. Over the course of six days the site has received 644 visits by 265 users. Not too bad for week number one. Most interesting things so far: A review of Flushed Away, a bit about the Smoke Free Air Act, and thoughts on Rex Grossman.
Obviously the site is growing/changing as we speak. If you’d like to help out in any way (especially advertising with us if you own a business in the area) please let us know. Achtung Residents! Send us your tips!
Judi Dench, aka. the love of my life
I in the midst of a serious Judi Dench love affair. I don’t really want to expound on this because it gets old and wrinkly rather fast.

Dear Ohio State,
I’m sorry that the Florida Gators and Urban Myer made you look like a bunch of chumps. I am also sorry that “the best player in college football” went 4 of 14 for 35 yards and an interception. Maybe you should give your big heavy trophy to Adrien Peterson — since he should have won it as a freshman.
But I do want to thank you for making Boise State the sweetest national champion team ever. So thanks. CHOMP CHOMP!
Hugs!
